Heralds of Chaos - A New Interactive Browser Game?

I just got done playing a web-based tower defense game.  That's not good.  It was challenging and fun, even if I can't beat the last round of this pesky thing.

But now there's this new game whose PR came out that has my eye... crap!  But I like my sleep!
